You may remember the Pitchfork Music Festival slide show I posted here a few weeks ago (it's worth checking out again as a lot of photos have been added). Well, in the interest of providing equal time here's a slide show of photos taken this weekend at Lollapalooza and added to our Flickr pool.

Did you hear Radio M last Friday? Tony had Robert Loerzel on as a guest to guide us through the international indie rock world. Loerzel is many things- a musician, journalist, painter and author. But did you know he's also a member of the Chicago Public Radio Flickr pool?

As you probably know, last weekend Chicago's Union Park hosted the third annual Pitchfork Music Festival (fourth if you count the inaugural Intonation Festival they curated). It's a festival known for innovative music, but it's also proven to be a great place to shoot interesting photos.
